The 19th century female desperado Myra Shirley was known around the country as Belle Starr. Her reputation as an outlaw grew almost as fast as her ability to charm men. Hobnobbing with the likes of Jesse James and the Younger brothers, the twice-widowed Starr bribed lawmen when she couldn't outgun them, and seduced them when she couldn't bribe them. It was reported that once while being held in the Dallas county jail, a deputy became so infatuated with her that he committed suicide when his affection was not reciprocated.
